Checking levels
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles so equipped, or
using the dipstick.Checking using the dipstick

Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face

It is normal to top-up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
recommends that you check the level, and top-
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms). B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or

is not valid during the 30 minutes after
topping-up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emission control system, never use
additives in the engine oil. The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the interval for this operation.
Fluid specification
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Check the coolant level regularly, according
to the use made of your vehicle (every
3 000
miles or 5 000 kms / 3 months); if
necessary, top-up using coolant recommended
by the manufacturer.
Topping-up the coolant between services is
normal.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should
be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to
check the level.

Emergency or assistance call
If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, and independently of
the deployment of any airbags, an
emergency call is made automatically.
Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this
button for more than 2 seconds.
Flashing of the green indicator
lamp and a voice message
confirm that the call has
been made to the "Localised

locating information from the vehicle and
can send a detailed alert to the appropriate
emergency services.
In countries in which a centre is not
operational, or when the locating service
has been expressly declined, the call is dealt
with directly by the emergency services (112)
